Landscape architects have an important role in Green Shores. They are often both champions and practitioners of Green Shores’ sustainable approaches that protect waterfront properties while also protecting and restoring shoreline habitats. Inclusion in this magazine is a great way of reaching more members of this important profession. The article, “Greening Shorelines, Enhancing Resilience in a Changing Climate: Development and Delivery of Green Shores Education and Training,” was written by SCBC’s Executive Director DG Blair. It highlights the training workshops we deliver, in collaboration with the University of Victoria.

Your Marine Waterfront was originally developed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW). SCBC then worked collaboratively with DFW to create a Canadian edition which reflects relevant Canadian laws and policies. With iconic views and easy access to recreation, owning a waterfront property is a dream-come-true for many. But a property’s greatest asset—its waterfront location—may come with concerns about erosion, flooding and exposure to the elements. In many locations, hard vertical structures like seawalls can be replaced with elements that are functional, attractive and better for the environment. Your Marine Waterfront describes the first three steps to protecting your home, enhancing your property and enjoying your beach: assessing your site, evaluating design techniques that may best fit your situation, and accessing other helpful information.    </p> <p>The post <a href="https://stewardshipcentrebc.ca/your-marine-waterfront/">Your Marine Waterfront</a> appeared first on <a href="https://stewardshipcentrebc.ca">Stewardship Centre for BC</a>.</p> ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://stewardshipcentrebc.ca/Green_shores/resources#marinewaterfront"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4599" src="http://stewardshipcentrebc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/MarineWaterfront_CDNed.jpg" alt="MarineWaterfront_CDNed" width="257" height="208" /></a>Learn how to enjoy the beach, protect your home <em>and</em> improve shoreline habitat with our latest Green Shores guide.</p> <p><em>Your Marine Waterfront</em> was originally developed by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (DFW). <span id="more-4597"></span>SCBC then worked collaboratively with DFW to create a <a href="http://stewardshipcentrebc.ca/Green_shores/resources#marinewaterfront" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Canadian edition</a> which reflects relevant Canadian laws and policies.</p> <p>With iconic views and easy access to recreation, owning a waterfront property is a dream-come-true for many.
